GMC Terrain vs Toyota Highlander

Performance Features

The GMC Terrain is an adventurous SUV with the capability to go on and off-road. The available Traction Select System helps you do just that. This available technology allows you to choose between FWD, AWD, Off-Road, and an available Tow/Haul mode at the touch of a button—perfect for exploring!

The Toyota Highlander has its own impressive responsiveness and capability. One such feature that makes the Highlander a fun drive is the available Dynamic Torque-Control All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. This AWD system gives you the responsiveness and stability you need by intelligently managing the distribution of engine power across the front and rear wheels.

Technology Features

Performance is not the only place the GMC Terrain exceeds expectations. Standard in the Terrain is a user-friendly 7-inch Diagonal GMC Infotainment System. When it comes to staying connected with calls, music, maps, messages, podcasts, audiobooks, etc., the GMC infotainment system is here for you every step of the way.

The tech doesn’t stop there. The Terrain has a suite of driver-assistive and safety features to act as a second set of eyes on the road. One such feature is the standard Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, which warns you of potential collisions and applies the brakes.

The Toyota Highlander has its own tech features, including the Entune™ Infotainment system, which has a standard 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen display, an available Navigation System, and standard SiriusXM® compatibility.

Like the Terrain, the Highlander has a suite of driver-assistive and safety features called Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+. It includes a few features like:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Automatic High Beams
